Ambev S.A. has a current dividend yield of 1.93%, which can provide a steady income stream for investors looking for dividend-paying stocks.
The company has a relatively low payout ratio of 38.89%, indicating that it retains a significant portion of its earnings for reinvestment, which could support future growth.

The company has a quick ratio of 0.89, which is below 1, indicating potential liquidity issues in meeting short-term obligations without selling inventory.
Ambev S.A. has a debt-to-equity ratio of 0.02, which is very low, suggesting that the company is not leveraging debt for growth, potentially limiting its expansion opportunities.
The price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 10.19 may indicate that the stock is undervalued, but it could also suggest that investors are cautious about future earnings growth.
Ambev S.A. has experienced fluctuations in its stock price, with a 1-year low of $1.76 and a high of $2.72, indicating volatility that could deter risk-averse investors.
